Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Only one question remains: will it federate
I was just thinking that common forum software implementing ActivityPub would be a great way to link all of these disparate web forums that are still active and have useful content.
You kind of can with wordpress and the AP plugin. it works with bbpress --maybe not perfectly yet, but it's a start.
They honestly should use a modified version of lemmy
The problem is a forum Is genuinely different than a Reddit/Lemmy board, where each forum thread can remain indefinitely alive and useful, while a reddy/Lemmy post is designed to decay with time.
It would have to be heavily modified
This is why both make sense. Reddit threads for quick questions, and they also appear in Google results much more than forum posts.
Yes, yes, yes, please yes! Let it use the ActivityPub protocol, it'll be so epic pogchamp, fire lit fam 🙏🏻
